Motivated by our 2014 global football campaign, the Pepsi ‘Live for Now’ Capsule Collection brings the best of art and football to life,” said Kristin Patrick, Pepsi Global Chief Marketing Officer, PepsiCo Global Beverages Group. “Our first-of-its- kind art collection, ‘The Art of Football,’ was unveiled in a gallery, then spread across the streets of the world with our out-of-home campaign and now as a collection that a young, style-savvy generation will covet. Pepsi has been a cultural icon for many years and today we celebrate the ability of our brand to find a new place in consumers’ hearts and minds. The Pepsi ‘Live for Now’ collection is both wearable and enviable, combining the best design with the joy of living in the now”, he adds. The collection itself features a range of apparel, accessories and electronics. Men’s tees from Original Penguin, baseball caps from Gents and creative skateboards from SHUT all display the artists’ inspired designs. After all, if you aren’t a fan of football, at least the World Cup is bringing a taste of world art and culture with it.
